risky storage?
Nice old Cessna 170: http://images.traderonline.com/img/2...60018712_3.jpg But.... What caught my eye was the creative support for the roof rafters. I think there's a cable running the span length. It's probably plenty strong enough but it looks a little unconventional. I got a kick out of it.... R. Hubbell

Actually, that cable is a normal support... what looks abnormal is the standoff stuff above the cable... It looks to me like the beam got weak over time and the cable and stand-offs were added later.
